Professional situation DHCP cluster, AD/DNS, RAID
The management of the Maison des Ligues de Lorraine (M2L) is looking for a service continuity solution for the essential roles on the Windows servers.

Professional situation DMZ, ACL, NAT
The management of the Maison des Ligues de Lorraine (M2L) has questions about the security of its computer equipment and wishes to find solutions that guarantee secure access to its services.
Professional situation Scripts
The management of the Maison des Ligues de Lorraine (M2L) wishes to have solutions managed by means of automated procedures written with a scripting language, for the deployment of an Active Directory network directory and the cleaning of the TEMP directory of the workstations.
Professional situation HAProxy ( load balancing ) Heartbeat (failover)
The management of the Maison des Ligues de Lorraine (M2L) asks you to provide a solution allowing the redundancy of one of its web servers. Two benefits of this solution can be exploited: load balancing and high availability.
Professional situation VPN
The management of the Maison des Ligues de Lorraine (M2L) needs a solution allowing its users to establish a secure connection outside their workplace. Users must be able, using a client installed on their laptops, to connect to the main work resources provided by the servers.
Professional situation STP
The management of the Maison des Ligues de Lorraine (M2L) wishes to be able to ensure service continuity in the event of the failure of one of the "network" devices. The M2L has set up a network infrastructure that offers an alternative path in the event of the failure of a link or of a switch. This redundancy leads to the following problem: the creation of loops, which generates broadcast storms. The M2L therefore wants to avoid the creation of loops.
Professional situation GPO
The various departments or leagues of the M2L use a wide variety of software. This is why the M2L is looking for a solution in order to install the software remotely, without having to move from workstation to workstation.
